Itinéraire
Cette porte principale fortifiée, flanquée de tours jumelles et d'un pont-levis, est votre entrée théâtrale dans le monde médiéval. C’est l’endroit le plus photographié de la ville, et pour cause. Construit au XIIIe siècle, c’est à la fois un chef-d’œuvre défensif et une icône visuelle.
L'un des plus anciens sites sacrés de la cité, cette église mêle force romane et élégance gothique. La porte sculptée, les arcs-boutants et les vitraux sont superbes, même de l’extérieur.
Même sans entrer, le pont-levis extérieur et les doubles défenses du château sont impressionnants. Cette forteresse intérieure est l’endroit où les comtes de Carcassonne régnaient autrefois et où les assaillants s’arrêtaient jadis.
Datant du XIVe siècle, ce pont de pierre relie la cité médiévale à la Bastide Saint-Louis (ville basse). Sa courbe douce encadre parfaitement la vue sur la ville fortifiée, surtout au coucher du soleil.
La promenade se termine sur cette place centrale animée de la basse ville, ombragée de platanes et entourée de cafés. Les jours de marché, c’est un tourbillon de couleurs, de voix et de produits provençaux.

Met tour guide right outside the main entrance. He contacted us using WhatsApp and easily shared his location with us so we had no difficulty meeting up. Once within Carcasonne, we were given a personal and 1:1 tour experience. Seeing how everyone around us was walking around we were very happy to have an expert guide. He even took us to new Carcasonne which typical tourists dont see on their own. Would recommend!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It means a lot to have your recommendation, and we’re very happy you chose LocalCityWalks for your time in Carcassonne ⭐️
Gert is a outstanding guide. He has extensive knowledge of the Cite and it’s history. Very knowledgible of the the local Area. An extremely pleasent personality. There is no walking the Rampart (Castle Walls) with this tour. Don’t worry about that as the tour around the Cite at base level is very educational. You can do it later for 19 Euros. Gert also walked us across a historical bridge to the other city center. We were so glad we went there too. If not for Gert and going there, we would have just stayed in the Medievel Cite area. Just be prepared to do some walking both up and down some inclines. I highly recommend this Tour.
Thank you for such a fantastic review. Knowing we could help you discover even more of Carcassonne than you expected is exactly why we love doing what we do 💛
Excellent tour of Carcassonne's medieval and "new" towns from Gert! We enjoyed all of the historical facts and information about both cities. He also sent confirmation texts via Whatsapp before the tour and made recommendations during the tour. Gert's English was great and he is super kind! Overall a very enjoyable and insightful tour! Would highly recommend to those wishing to partake in a Carcassonne tour! Other details: We paid ~475 USD via Viator total for our private tour of 4 people. The tour was just over 2 hours long starting in the medieval town and ending in the "new town" in a great place to have a local meal.
Thank you for your lovely feedback 😍, we’re really happy you had such an enjoyable and insightful time exploring Carcassonne 🌟
Overall, Remi did a very good job, showing us the town and spend a lot of time explaining the history of the walls, fortress, etc. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend it with the only caveat being that it was not two hours as advertised. He pretty much finished after an hour and a half, and then said that he would add an extra short visit to the historic hotel. That stretched it to about an hour and 45 minutes, but still short of the promised time .
Thank you for your feedback and for recommending the experience, we’re glad you enjoyed discovering Carcassonne and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us 🌞
Very interesting. Our tour guide knew a lot. Had a very good time exploring the town. Would recommend to others.
Thank you for your kind words, we’re glad the walk made for a great day discovering Carcassonne and we appreciate the recommendation 🌟
We had a 2 hour private tour with Remi who was very knowledgeable & friendly. Although the tour was supposed to end in the new town we agreed to stay in the old city & the time flew by. Would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for sharing your experience, we’re glad the walk was a great way to discover Carcassonne and that the time flew by while exploring the city 🏰
Tour guide Gert was knowledgeable on the history of the Castle and provided good responses to my many and varied questions on the region,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we’re happy the walk helped you dive deeper into the history of Carcassonne and the wider region 😊
Gert was super friendly and knowledgeable! He made a point to show us the highlights of old Carcassonne, the bridge between the later addition & the town square. He added some special unexpected touches to the trip. The tour added to our appreciation of this lovely place.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we’re delighted the walk deepened your appreciation of Carcassonne and made the experience feel special ✨
Really fun und thought out tour. The guide was very knowledgeable about the city. The tasting was a nice touch but I expected a bit more. We went to a restaurant the was among the recs of the guide and were pleasantly surprised. He even dropped us off at our restaurant which we both thought was really sweet.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, we’re glad the walk helped you explore both sides of Carcassonne and that it added some nice moments to your day 🍷
